When Prime Day kicked off last week, I think it took a few hours for the harsh reality of the situation to sink in.

Last week Gawker helped an escort blackmail an executive at a rival media company when it published a story about his attempts to hook up with the escort, who had threatened to rat his client out to the media unless he helped him with a housing dispute. When the executive refused, the escort went running to Gawker, which happily published the story and then faced a torrent of outrage from readers and fellow journalists in response. And now the story has gotten even crazier.
